"For the Win brings together an extraordinary collection of objects that commemorate the defining moment of victory in sports, meticulously crafted from spectacular gems and minerals, and explores how athletics can resonate far beyond the field of play, Museum President Sean M. Decatur said."
"The exhibition will feature over 70 objects from more than 15 sports, including basketball, baseball, football, soccer, tennis, boxing, and golf. The collection showcases how these objects have evolved from traditional medals to symbols of triumph and achievement."
"With the excitement of the World Cup building, the exhibition will also mark the launch of a series of fun, interactive experiences at the Museum that enable visitors to engage with the science, global community, and culture in sports."
The American Museum of Natural History will launch the 'For the Win: Objects of Sports Excellence' exhibit on May 15, showcasing over 70 artifacts from more than 15 sports disciplines.
